how will the asia thread respond to this don't we want a peace between the west and the east mawarannahr posted:RFA: At the World Economic Forum in January, Chinese Vice-Premier Liu He stated that the West should abandon its Cold War mentality and that China is now open for business. He also held a separate meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and invited her to visit the country. There is a lot of excitement on Wall Street with many corporations looking to invest in China now that the COVID lockdowns are over. [...] we've seen how the united states deals with "declining" threats (russia), but this little balloon affair gives us insight as to how the americans tackle an "ascending" power (the PRC) Hubbert has issued a correction as of 08:21 on Feb 4, 2023 |

i figured this balloon thing was so absurd that even the absolute brain geniuses in the other thread would mock it but lmao:quote:China sent a spy balloon to fly across the US? What were they thinking? quote:They do use satellites. Which makes it all the more likely this is just a stunt designed to flip the bird and try to cause embarrassment and annoyance. Given the faux outrage from Trumpland, I'd say it worked. quote:If this was really an oopsie, China would probably have let the Canadian and US governments know ahead of time instead of waiting for someone to notice and call them on it.

I kinda wish the balloons were 99 and red. Also the fact that you have to explain helium is non-flammable to calm the dumbest "shot it, it will explode" people is  .

Alkonis is the soldier who drove into a parking lot and killed two people, right? Didn't he get a 3-years sentence, a light sentence for two dead people by Japanese standard? How generous of Lee to offer to forget anything ever happened.

https://twitter.com/JChengWSJ/status/1621811047957929990?t=PwtTrdarBluMBmHqjpxoJQ&s=19 So there have been rumor of Xi going to visit Russia (from Russian media) I think this is going to be the play between China and US in the next few months. Basically Beijing threatens Xi will meet Putin if Kevin McCarthy visits Taiwan (in April)

The whole "it's a spy balloon but we won't shoot it down because of collateral damage" line is so loving stupid. If the US government genuinely thought it was a Chinese spy balloon and that shooting it down would kill over a million people they'd do it twice just to be sure.
